So, I've spent hours and hours searching for a wired headset that would skip tracks on the HD7. I tried the included HTC one and ones for an iPhone and Nokia, none of which worked.
My research seems to have turned up that the HD7 headphone socket just doesn't support the necessary connectors. So, I opted for a bluetooth headphone adapter, namely the Sony Ericsson MH-100 (£25 from amazon) and I just thought I'd tell anyone who's interested that it's really great.
It's small and discrete, good battery life, pairs easily with the HD7 and supports the full A2DP BT profile, so you can navigate through music, answer calls and control the volume. The best thing, is that it really gives the audio levels a kick in the backside which the HD7 REALLY needs. The included earbuds are also quite nice.
So for anyone who doesn't want to get out their phone every time they want to skip a track, I can't recommend this enough

My developer HTC G1 (special Google pattern back) phone is completely -un-rooted, running Cupcake 1.5 as I have not had time to update it to 1.6 Donut.
I bought a device similar to this:

Last night at Radio Shack for 10$, from there I took it to another adapter to adapt the 2.5mm to the standard 3.5mm headphone jack so I could use my HTC G1 with standard headphones.
Here's the problem:
I can use my standard microphone/headset combination I got with the phone just fine, however, when I plug these adapters in and try listening to music, it comes out of the phone.. not my headphones.
I know my headphones aren't bad because I use them for gaming on my computer every day. It'd just be nice to be able to use them while I'm biking around town or jogging.. but.. as I said, my HTC G1, just acts like they don't exist.
Can someone, anyone, give me advice on how to fix this?
I'm not very good at pushing updates as the phone was a gift from my brother who used to work with Google. He helped me push Cupcake, but I'm interested in learning how to do this on my own.
Thanks everyone.. Hope to be listening to my music soon.
It appears that with a bit of research, it appears this thread has surfaced before:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511704
I still don't know how to fix it though.
Now that I have something useful to listen to music with, I want to use it while running.
I have not come across many accessories to do this, but I did find this universal one:

Anyone have any pointers for the Focus? I figure something that attaches to an arm or waist would be appropriate.
I'll update this post with your suggestions as we go.
*edit - If this is as good as it's going to get, please post so.
If it says it can handle the size of the Xperia X10, then the Focus should be fine and this may be your best bet. I don't think there will be any armband accessories until the Focus becomes more popular so just go with this one.
But I don't really think that the Focus is a good choice as a workout MP3 player. I know I'd be on edge if I had my brand spanking new phone strapped to my sweaty slippery arm! That's why I've kepy my iPod Nano for working out--the perfect size.
Good points. But it's so shiny... Hard not to use it.

Perhaps the bluetooth route is doable

Hi!
Im looking for compatibilite headsets.
I want buy a noisehush nx80 headset, but this headset pinout compatibilite with hd2?
Or anyone can recommand me a great headset around 20$?
(The nx80 is 20$ from ebay.)
I found one of best 20USD solutions to be Sony HPM-70 with original htc headset cable modded to a 3.5 female plug. Almost impossible to buy original Sony HPM-70 on eBay.
End result is 100% fully functional controls & great audio hard to beat at under 20USD & is as good or better than many 60USD headsets ...
Guys, get Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headset, it's awesome and doesnt cost as much(bought mine for less than 40$)
Sound quality is awesome plus you get dedicated radio and bluetooth multipoint.
AVRCP and playing title/caller name works as well.
I have HTC RC E240 headsets and in my opinion the sound quality is very good

I received my phone and I'm charging it before the fun begins. While I wait I decided to try out the headphones on my 4G LTE(nice change since my old phone did not come with any), and they are a very decent set and look like Beats headphones, go figure! Anyone else like the included headphones?

They're the same as the ones that came with the One, only now they have htc branding on them.. they are very nice. Especially for being a freebie.
The thought last year was that they were unbranded beats essentially.
I mainly use a bluetooth set at this point, but its nice to have a decent pair when needed.
I wasnt able to upgrade to the One last year so I had to ride my EVO 4G LTE until now. I'm glad HTC kept this design then, definetely a welcomed surprise. I also like the ear gels because they are softer than most of the other headphones I have.
They sound really good. I like that the button does audio for Google Now and music. Welcome surprise.

It really is. Another plus for HTC!
I just picked these up this week and for the price they are amazing. No battery pack required. The tablet automatically recognized it was the MDR-NC31EM soon as I plugged them in.
Was using a pair of Phiaton's but these will be my main now.
Not super loud but does a excellent job blocking out any outside sounds. Better then my Phiatons....

Is this the NC31E or NC31EM? The silver sticker on mine says just E, but the box packaging says EM. So I'm not sure.
I got a pair of these with my previous sony Z2, use them with my z3tc and z3c. The earbuds are great, noise cancelation works very good in the office or noisy environment (although I prefer my pair of Bose QC25 while on a plane)
Wow they really stick out! I prefer an L-shaped pair, easier when holding.
